A very good looking Churchill so far Micheal! I have a Mk. VII on the shelf collecting dust which is at a similar stage. I have the AFV club workable tracks but haven't started tham yet, what did you make of them? Easy/Quick to build?
What markings/paint are you going for with this?

Just noticed in your update pictures that your muzzle brake is at the wrong angle, it needs twisting 90 degrees so that the holes are at the sides, not top and bottom.

Nice work!

A lovely used scheme, suits this vehicle very well.

Shame you didn't do well at the show, there is some stiff competition there though!

Nice simple yet classy base too, congrats.
